Royal Colonies
In 1775 there was only 3 colonies. Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. These colonies were organized by a proprietor, a person whom the king had made a grant of land. The land owner governed the people.
The method of management used by the French with their colonies was direct control.
England attempted to avoid controlling trade with its colonies by implementing a system of mercantilism that encouraged colonial self-sufficiency and local production. By allowing colonies to trade with other nations under certain conditions, England aimed to foster economic growth and independence within the colonies, while still benefiting from their resources. This approach was designed to create a balance where colonies could thrive without direct control, yet still contribute to the mother country's wealth. However, over time, tensions arose as colonies sought greater autonomy in trade.
Some of the major factors that led to the ties between England and its colonies were associated with British taxation policy as well as their direct rule over the politics of their colonial territories.

Royal colonies
Countries that employed direct control over their colonies include France and Belgium, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. France implemented a policy of assimilation, aiming to integrate colonies into French culture and governance. Belgium, especially in the Congo, exercised brutal direct administration with little regard for local customs or governance. This approach contrasted with indirect control used by other colonial powers, like Britain, which often relied on local rulers to maintain order.
The New England colony that became a separate royal colony in 1680 was New Hampshire. Initially part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, it was separated to establish its own governance, reflecting the growing desire for autonomy among the colonies. This change allowed for a more direct control by the crown, aligning it with other royal colonies in the region.

Royal Colony is the term for a colony under direct control of the English king or queen. Before the Revolutionary Wars, there were several Royal Colonies in North America.
Europeans used paternalism as a direct form of control of the colonies. They provided for the colonial peoples' needs but did not give them full rights or self determination.
